I’m SwanFire girl & Neal/BaelFire Fan as well as a MRJ Fan and I will continue to be one I will not let someone or even a network dictate to me what or who I should or shouldn’t be a fan of. I still have faith that we will see Neal again. But as to when I don’t know and that is the really sad part.
Excuse my rant please but I needed to get this off of my chest
Now Let me just say this to any CS Fans who maybe reading this
CS Maybe happening But I believe the only reason why we are being given this crappy storyline is because ABC wanted it and most likely interfered with the original story that A & E were wanting to tell. If anything this was fan pandering at it’s ugliest. As much as Adam & Eddy continue to keep saying that this action regarding MRJ & the character of Neal was Story Driven the more I am doubting very seriously that it was indeed the case, there is just to many things that don’t add up. In my opinion Adam & Eddy along with all of the writers caved to the network politics( when I say network politics I’m not just saying ABC Brass I’m talking about advertising, publicity, sponsers, etc. I’m pretty sure Matthew knows the gist of what I am talking about.) that was probably involved in making sure that Once got renewed & with the idea of syndication following the blunder with Once Upon A Time In Wonderland plus you add the pressure of those fans who wanted CS to happen and you’ve got a mixture ripe for changing things. As I said CS maybe happening but that does not mean that I have to accept it or like it in any way shape or form and there is nobody who is going to change my mind about that.
I will Never Ever accept CS as endgame because I do not believe for a second that this is the story that Adam & Eddy originally wanted to tell.
Fairy Tales are supposed to be filled with Hope, True Love, Belief, Second Chances, Redemption, Happy Endings, True Loves Kiss, all mixed in together with magic, sorcery, sword fighting, archery, Kings & Queens, Prince’s Princess’, Fairies, Pirates, Witches, Wizards, and all kinds of mythical creatures like dragons, unicorns, etc And we pretty much got most of that in Seasons 1-3A, The writing of it was on par with what Fairy Tales should be. It’s only now in Season 3B that things have dramatically changed. You tell how much it’s changed based on the writing, the way the actors are portraying the characters and the direction of the storyline. The excitement that actors once had for Once doesn’t appear to be there now and you can tell that by their online presence when they are tweeting with fans.
In my opinion Neal should have been given his happy ending with Emma & Henry, Rumple & Belle given the type of life that he was given and the suffering that he endured. They could have given Neal his happy ending and still separated them until the end of the show and brought him back as if to say see these people will get their happy ending after all. Killing him was not the answer. It was nothing more then a plot device so that they could make sure that CS could happen. So in my estimation CS & Hook is nothing more then a second choice for Emma since her choice of who she would choose was taken completely away by Neal’s death. So I hope that the Hook & CS Fans can live with the fact they won solely by default.
For those that say that Zelena isn’t to blame for what happened to Neal I would say go back and watch episodes 3×10,3×11,3×12,3×13,3×14,3×15,3×16 again Zelena clearly states in 3×16 that she is 100% responsible for Neal’s death. So in my opinion whatever she gets in the end from Emma, Rumple, Regina,Charming, Snow, Belle, Hook, Robin Hood, Henry she deserves.
